Now that is very interesting right there !!!!

[coachcw]

cool but not a 1x6

[spookgus]

Cool. Just a few deductions.

[carpsniperg2]

cool bull for sure. was a a any bull tag?

[frazierw]

nope.. Spike tag... if you read the regulations it says, " Elk taken in these units must have at least one antler with no branches ORIGINATING MORE THAN FOUR INCHES above where the antler attaches to the skull." This is a 100 percent legal spike.  Pays to know the rules, most hunters probably would have passed on this bull.

[carpsniperg2]

sure intresteing, i only hunt a area that is any elk. so it nice to know the rules. i have hunted a spike area but only when i had a any bull tag. so anything was legal because i archery hunt.

[Dadbear]

Cool. Looks like he spent a little too much time standing under the power lines.

Question about rule.

Spike Bull Restrictions:
Elk taken in these units must have at least one antler with no branches
originating more than four inches above where the antler attaches to the skull.
An animal with a spike on one side (1x2) is legal in spike only units. An animal
with more than one antler point more than four inches above where the antler
attaches to the skull on both sides (2x2) is illegal.

Are they talking mainbeam or any point? I see in my mind a 3x6 if i read the above rule right.

[Curly]

  Cool.

[huntlakewood]

I don't hunt elk and the laws are confusing I would look at that as a 2x6. But cool for you guys that is one cool looking elk. I much rather have that on my wall then a 6x6 just because it is different the different ones are more fun to look at.

This one is going to get interesting...

[Michelle_Nelson]

one antler with no branches originating more than four inches above where the antler attaches to the skull.

 

According to the guidelines it is a legal spike.  Because the funky points on the base do not originate (meaning location attached to the main beam) 4" above where the antler attaches to the skull (burrs).  

It is however a 3 x 6 if you count all the points.

   I'm waiting for the action to start, take cover!
